    Hello hello! A new member as of 30 mins agofrom Brisbane. Been sim driving for many years, not considered very flash at it, though I enjoy it for practice/training. I drive on any platform and most sims. Gt series is what got me into racing, now drive Pcars, Acorsa, raceroom etc. I enjoy all platforms(racing is racing irrespective of what platform sim engine used). Looking to join practice sessions and eventually improve my skills to try a season. Just started reading the forums to gain knowledge. I'm on ps4, xbox and pc.

    Hopefully I can grab knowledge from here to improve my virtual race craft.

    Thanks

    It's possible if:

    A) Someone is streaming it
    B) You use the "request to watch" feature on the PS4 itself

    I don't think anyone streams our races though, and watching directly would use up bandwidth for the person you're viewing, which might affect their race if their connection isn't up to the task. There's no pressure to join a season straight away mate, you're welcome to join in on any practice sessions we run during the week. I'm online most nights so if I see you I'll invite you or if you see me just send a message or join the party and say hey.

    What offline modes allow pitstops. I dont want to go into my career mode just to practice pitstops. Rather very annoying.

    Figured it out. Need practice qualify and race setup before it allows pit stop options.

    Is there a division 4? My pace in the v8 superflops is 10 seconds off everyone's pace on division 3.

    There's no 4th division. Division 3 is divided into 3 and 3b though. What kind of times we you doing around Bathurst?

    That's 10 seconds off the fastest lap but there are other guys who didn't race last night so are about the same pace as you mate.
